    How to fix the market.

    I'm sure we've all noticed that there are some huge balance issues with item pricing in the market.
    I know this is where BB makes their money, and I think it could be improved for everyone, across all servers.

    BB must be able to run reports on which items sell, and how many-- it'd be silly if they didn't know where their paychecks were coming from. So assuming they can run these reports, all that is needed is to add a script.

    The script would look for the (10) items that are the least popular, and lower their cost in gems/star coins by (10%) or if it isn't a single item raise the amount of resources gained from the purchase by (10%)
    likewise

    They may need to add in some limitations, so the "best" items don't go up all the time, and others don't become virtually free, but the idea is to give a true variety of choices.

    Running the script each maintenance would be ideal. The reason it should be run that often is simple-- At least once a week players will visit the shop!

    Perhaps, but a better market, where players visit much more often = more $$$ for BB.... Maybe then they can put more resources towards those "issues"

    i think we would have mass riots from players who bought any discounted items before they were discounted, looking for the difference of the gems back.....

    oh this could do interesting things to the gold market.
    More of the same "new" content with a different bow? I will give more of the "same" towards my gem accumulation.
